SASP Advisory Committee – Meeting #2 MnDOT Office of Aeronautics #FlyMN | www.MinnesotaGO.org 1

Agenda • Introductions • Progress since last meeting • Assessment of Prior Efforts • Objectives and Strategies • Trends - BREAK - • Airport Classification Review • Current Minnesota Classifications • Other States’ Classifications • Defining the system State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 2

SAC Advisory Role The role of the SAC is to gather the best high-level policy ideas to carry forward to TAC meetings and further refinement by MnDOT. • We do not need “answers” • It is great ideas we are after • This can be the start of the conversation • Not all ideas will make it in to the plan • May be in other plans • May be addressed in another way

Looking back…

Assessment of Prior Efforts State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 6

Assessment of Prior Efforts The following groups were consulted and outreach meetings held to gather input on the assessment of prior SASP efforts: • MnDOT Aeronautics Staff • SASP Advisory Committee (SAC) • Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) • Aviation Consultant Community Workshop • Aviation Community (Minnesota Airports Conference, Pilot Focus Groups, Drone Focus Group, Numerous airshows and fly-ins)

What Worked Well • Map graphics in the plan • SASP level forecast information • Report card (5-sheet airport information) • Economic Impact Calculator tool is useful for airports and stakeholders

Challenges • Does not adequately include drones • Could better educate public • Could use additional information on NextGen rollout and impact on Minnesota • SASP could include a package of tools for sponsors to share results of SASP and its ancillary studies • Comparison tools/information for airports to compare against average or other airports in their classification • Clarification on which objectives are requirements versus recommendations

More Challenges • The plan is very lengthy • SASP did not contain up to date information after initial publication • SASP could include recommendations for funding which would help the state prioritize funding decisions • Clear zone policy should be integrated into SASP • High level recommendations on the size of the system, is current size adequate, too small, too big?

Objectives and Strategies State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 11

Evaluation of Past SASP Strategies Input from Airports Conference and TAC meeting: • There are too many strategies • Too many strategies dilutes the focus on accomplishing anything • Some strategies too specific • Move to a higher level • Allows a work plan to complete the strategy in a flexible and efficient way

SASP Objectives • 2012 SASP Objectives • SMTP Objectives • Safety • Open Decision Making • Mobility • Transportation Safety • Financial Opportunity and • Critical Connections Responsibility • System Stewardship • Operations • Healthy Communities • Asset Management State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 13

Open Decision-Making • Make transportation system decisions through processes that are inclusive, engaging and supported by data and analysis. • Leverage data and technology not currently being used • Finding better and consistent ways to track operations statewide is important • Provide for and support coordination, collaboration and innovation . • Ensure efficient and effective use of resources. • Having a link between the plan and funding is important State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 14

Transportation Safety • Safeguard transportation users as well as the communities the systems travel through. • Apply proven strategies to reduce fatalities and serious injuries for aviation. • Foster a culture of aviation safety in Minnesota. • Safety regarding drone integration State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 15

Critical Connections • Maintain and improve multimodal transportation connections essential for Minnesotans’ prosperity and quality of life. • Airport accessibility – ease of reaching valued destinations • Ensure regional connections • Multimodal connections • Partner with other organizations to promote aviation tourism connections • Last mile airport accessibility • Strategically consider new connections that help meet performance targets and maximize social, economic and environmental benefits. State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 16

System Stewardship • Strategically build, manage, maintain and operate all transportation assets. • Reasonably priced aviation experiences including certification, fuel purchases, maintenance, and hangar cost • Create a NAVAIDS plan to address age of infrastructure and new technology • Rely on system data and analysis, performance measures and targets, agency and partners’ needs, and public expectations to inform decisions. State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 17

System Stewardship • Use technology and innovation to get the most out of investments and maintain system performance . • Creative solutions • Integrating emerging technologies • Increase the resiliency of the aviation system and adapt to changing needs. • Create more users • Educating the public about the importance of GA and opportunities • More inclusive and open • System that responds quickly – Flexible system (e.g. drones) • Promote resiliency through airport self-sufficiency State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 18

Healthy Communities • Make fiscally-responsible decisions that respect and complement the natural, cultural, social and economic context. • Minimal impact to the environment • Integrate land uses and transportation systems to leverage public and private investments . State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 19

Objectives Next Steps • Recommend moving forward with SMTP • MnDOT will finalize objective statements State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 20

Trends State Aviation System Plan | www.MinnesotaGO.org 21

Why Trends? • Trends can highlight key topics for the SASP to address • Engagement can help prioritize among topics and identify areas of emphasis • Technical and policy analysis related to trends can help inform SASP direction and work plan activities. • Audience: General Public
